As a long admirer of Pat I was always disappointed that his greatness was not appreciated by too many...though most would admit he had a 'way with words' as they say. A tremendous intellect and perhaps the keenest analyzer of American Politics in modern times yet he did not have the physical appeal or 'charisma' to be taken seriously as a Presidential Contender ....what a shame. 'He went to China with Richard M. Nixon and walked away from Watergate unscathed. He survived Iran-Contra, too, and sat alongside Ronald Reagan at the Reykjavík Summit. He invaded America’s living rooms and pioneered the rhetorical combat that would power the cable news age. He defied the establishment by challenging a sitting president of his own party. He captured the fear and frustration of the right by proclaiming a great “culture war” was at hand. And his third-party candidacy in 2000 almost certainly handed George W. Bush the presidency, thanks to thousands of Palm Beach, Florida, residents mistakenly voting for him on the “butterfly ballot” when they meant to back Al Gore.' http://www.politico.com/magazine/st...chanan-trump-president-history-profile-215042

Definitely a hero of the RW reactionary fringe. In have found him entertaining (on a strictly comic level) a time or 2. I have never taken him seriously, and I am surprised that anyone has ever taken him seriously. That said, it is no skin off of my back if people sing his praises. Many irrelevant people have found a niche among the fringe of U.S. politics.
I respect him a great deal. He's intensely knowledgeable in history, geography, & US Presidents. I don't find myself agreeing with him that much, but sometimes.
Did he die? Buchanan is anti-semitic. His only redeeming quality is being anti-war, but wants isolationism. He is probably a white supremacist, and was an enabler of Nixon - worst president in my lifetime. (Trump is trying hard to beat Nixon). Rhetorical combat was not a good development - look at what it has brought us to.
Pat Buchannan irrelevant, fringe, not to be taken seriously? How rich but showing a distinct lack or grasp of our political history and those who affected it.
